I'm def on the latest because I didn't go BM3 until a month or two ago. I also flashed over the weekend haha

Oh, then I'm not sure.

I guess just try to keep fiddling with the sliders. If you really can't get it to work right you can always just ask PTF.

When you click on the map in the My Maps screen, in yellow text above the req. support, delete and change detail buttons it will say "There are no updates available at this time" if you're on the latest version. If not, it will say "updates available" or something along those lines.

Yeah I'll give it another go this weekend. My car is at the dealer still getting the window replaced after someone broke it

I see now there are latest version dates on the OTS map list. Mine says version 2.4 - Release 2019-02-19

jcdub · 05-05-2019, 03:14 AM

Any update on the B48 release?
Currently running a dtuk tuning box and I'm interested to know what the boost levels are on average when on full boost?
I seem to be getting between 0.7 and 0.8 bar with the unit on, but it can peak briefly to 1.2 bar when at low speed and rpm when I floor it. It's boosting to 0.6 bar stock when the unit is turned off.

New update out since my post last night

Craeftig · 05-05-2019, 02:36 PM

I'm currently running stage 1 BM3, I'm looking to switch to stage 2. so far I have AFE cold intake ER charge pipe ER catless downpipe MST turbo inlet an Remus axle back exhaust. Will I be able to switch to stage 2 from these mods or is an intercooler highly required?

Some will say don't need an intercooler. I disagree, and strongly advise against running stage 2 without one. It can be done, but it shouldn't be done. Id' definitely get an intercooler.

If you want it you have to pay for it. Licenses can be sold used and transferred to a different VIN, or buy new.

0.10.072 app update is out for iOS, Android and Web:

Changes include:
- Fixes for layout (single column for dash in portrait mode) on Android Samsung devices
- Datalog viewer zoom in/out fix
- Scrolling fix for dashboard on iOS and Android
- Layout mode/repositioning activated through popup menu (press and hold on any gauge). Double-tap anywhere to exit layout mode.
- Double-tap on any gauge to start/stop datalogging (no button to press, its removed, tap anywhere instead)
- Top bar on the dash screen is removed for a cleaner look and getting valuable screen real estate back. Top bar is preserved on non mobile devices
- Visual indicator (infinite scroll progress bar) across the top of dash to indicate logging is running
- Visual indicator of agent status across the top in the dash when no connection to OBD/agent
- Fix for comments form on tune requests/maps going away as keyboard would come up. Now stays.
- OBD Agent Min version stays at 0.10.071 (i.e. no agent update)

Excellent job by Halim@HCP and protuning freaks.

Flashed back to stock and the car felt so weak with big drop off in power at rpm. Anyone still on the fence should just buy it. You’ll never want to go back to stock

proTUNING Freaks released the transmission flash today. Has anyone had a chance to try it yet? I'm driving to Vegas in 12 hours so it'll have to wait until I get back.

Its available for n20/26 as well. Going to flash it tonight and see how it feels. xHP doesn't have a tune for the zf8 for n20/26 yet but hopefully this should be good enough!

Changes are pretty minimal according to PTF. Just increased holding on 3rd and 6th and slightly faster shifts. No real change in shift logic like the xHP tune.

pierreye · 06-19-2019, 02:36 AM

Free with BM3? I'm getting my car back tomorrow for timing chain and guide change. Going to flash Bootmod3 back after test drive for few days.

Let us know what you think after you flash the TCU tune. The videos on their Instagram made it look like the shifting was dramatically quicker (it was an N20 328i). I'm gonna flash it the next day with decent weather...

Thank you eddiehatchblack for the heads up! I flashed my transmission this morning thanks to your post. I've been running stage 2 since March this year.

After flashing I only had time to drive for less than 10 minutes around town so the engine was never warm enough to push it hard.

Basically without over explaining, the car now shifts in comfort like it would warmed up in Sport+. I'd say it drives like a different car. The car is less jerky and the engine doesnt rev so hard in the lower gears while cold. I also noticed the better clamping force, which PTF says is better for tuned cars. It does feel like the shifting is generally more solid now.

Cheers to PTF for continuing to deliver

Just Flashed it at work, and took the car for a test run. From my short run in S-Mode on Sports+, it shifts better, quicker can be said, very tight shifts, its hard for me to explain but it does feel like a different car like floridaorange said. I'll take my scenic way home from work to really get a good feel.
